Hi folks, I downloaded the demo for CMR from the european website. I used autodetect for my graphics chipset and when I go to start the game after the config screens it dumps me to the desktop. ANyone have a suggestion? PII/450 Voodoo3/3000 AGP 256 RAM SBLive! Value Win98 Thanks, ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Same thing here with a very similar setup. I also had problems with TOCA2. Just deleted both of them and decided not to purchase. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for RC 2000 or GT2 for the playstation.

I think it is a problem with the resolution, it has to go below 640 X 480 which my machine does not even have a setting for. Try setting your desktop to the lowest res you have then try it.

I have TOCA2 and it runs great on the same setup. That's one of the reasons I thought it was odd that a game from the same people would not run correctly. Huh. ~daxe Sondog wrote in message <831mdd$hsl$[email hidden]>... >Same thing here with a very similar setup. I also had problems with TOCA2. >Just deleted both of them and decided not to purchase.

CMR runs fine on my V3 3000. I remember there was some issue with the demo esp. if you have TOCA2 installed as well - some sound file, I can't remeber exactly. Ah yes, it was qmixer.dll.
